The Emergency S.O.S. function instructs you to “Rapidly click the sleep/wake button five times to quickly call emergency services.”

A slider bar will appear after you use the feature, allowing you to slide your finger across the screen to confirm the call, according to MacRumors.

The feature will alert 911, as well as anyone else you have designated as an emergency contact. You can set your emergency contacts in the health app.

Touch ID is also disabled when you use Emergency S.O.S so that someone else cannot enter your device without your passcode.

To set up the feature, open the Settings App and scroll to “Emergency S.O.S.” You can switch the toggle to “Auto Call,” so that the alert goes through as soon as you make the clicks instead of waiting for you to slide your finger across the screen.
